When you’re a fiber artist you’re always learning. There’s always a new method or stitch to try. Maybe you want to learn the entire process of how to make yarn from an animal. Or you just want to learn about where weaving came from.
That’s why I’ve put together this “Learn More” section. There are so many learning opportunities when it comes to fiber crafting. Here’s the list of all the pages and blog posts with what you will learn from each one! I wish you a happy learning session!
Shave ’em to Save ’em
Amazing program that started in 2019 to help rare sheep breed owners. It was to promote the purchase of rare sheep breed fibers to fiber artists around the United States. If you are a fiber artist and you like working with wool, I highly recommend you join!

Stone Mountain Looms
Theresa and Chuck Jewel are like family to me and the owners of Stone Mountain Looms. They build each of their frame looms right her in small town New York! It’s amazing the work they do. If you’re looking for a new yarn craft, I highly recommend purchasing a loom from them.

History of Fiber Crafts
I’ve gone off on a little history hunt for information about where all current forms of fibers crafts began. Each has it’s own unique history, while others are very closely intertwined. There is so much fiber art history out there. If you’re into history, like me, these could be interesting reads for you. If you have anything extra to add to my research, I’d love to hear about it!
My history hunts:
Continuous Strand Weaving
Weaving in North America
Wool Industry in North America
Knitting and Crochet
